Workshop on Neurocontrol

[Rafal W Zbikowski]

	Neural Adaptive Control Technology Workshop: NACT I
	18--19 May, 1995
	University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK

   The first of a series of three workshops on Neural Adaptive
   Control Technology (NACT) will take place on May 18--19, 1995 in
   Glasgow, Scotland.  This event is being organised in connection
   with a three-year European Union funded Basic Research Project in
   the ESPRIT framework.  The project is a collaboration between
   Daimler-Benz Systems Technology Research, Berlin, Germany and the
   Control Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of
   Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland.

   The project is a study of the fundamental properties of neural
   network based adaptive control systems.  Where possible, links
   with traditional adaptive control systems will be exploited. A
   major aim is to develop a systematic engineering procedure for
   designing neural controllers for non-linear dynamic systems. The
   techniques developed will be evaluated on concrete industrial
   problems from within the Daimler-Benz group of companies:
   Mercedes-Benz AG, Deutsche Aerospace (DASA), AEG and DEBIS.  The
   project leader is Dr.~Ken Hunt (Daimler-Benz) and the other
   principal investigator is Professor Peter Gawthrop (University of
   Glasgow).
